Arima Onsen Gekkoen Korokan
About this hotel
Arima Onsen Gekkoen Korokan builds its entire stay around nine separate hot-spring baths spread across the grounds, drawing on the two mineral waters the district is known for, and pairs the bathing with kaiseki dinners of seasonal Japanese dishes served either in the room or in the dining hall depending on room type. Guests choose between traditional tatami rooms with futon bedding and Western-style beds, both with a refrigerator and private bathroom as standard, and the ryokan is seven hundred metres from Arima Onsen Train Station, five kilometres from the Rokko Arima Ropeway and Botanical Garden. A gift shop covers local souvenirs and evenings can run to karaoke as well as the baths. JR Sannomiya Train Station is a forty-five-minute drive away, a deliberate distance built into the pace of the stay.
